History
They are formally allied with the Federation and jointly maintain the Remmler Array which is in orbit of their home world and the Arkaria Base which is on the planets surface. These facilities are used to keep a very close watch on the Cardassian border which is fairly close.
By 2369, the Arkarians began to move towards a more egalitarian society. As a result it is believed that this is the reason many Arkarians began to do away with titles which suggested noble lineage.
Also that year, a group of rogue Arkarians cooperated with a terrorist group in a plot to steal trilithium resin from the warp core of the USS Enterprise-D, docked at the Remmler Array for a baryon sweep.

Society
Even though they have given up many of the special titles that separate certain families from the rest of the population, these families still control more power, wealth and property than the rest of the population put together. This 15% of the population still seem to hold the majority of the government jobs as well.
Culture
Many objects of art detail some aspect of their mythology. Tapestries, murals on the walls and floor as well as paintings, statues and dioramas keep these stories alive. In fact they are a integral part of their educational process.
